The Cut Natl aud the wire Nail.

The com parative test between the mer.
la OF the cat nail and the merits
Of tho wire nail, tho reeults ef which
arc reported by tho nail manufacturers Of
this vicinity, is Of peculiar iaterest at this
timo. Tho wire nail has been industrl.
ouuly pushed upon the trade, and It has
made headway which at last gave con-
earn TO the manufacturers OF the cat nail.
The wire nail Ia slightly, drives vol, aud
was representsl to be the most profitable
ueil 10 tho consumer because 1t was
actually cheaper and would hold as we'll
IS the cut nail. The tcats made by our
manufacturers show that the wire nail
has boon advertised lar beyond ita merita
in other words, that it has been sailing
under false colora.
The .es.g nhow that The number Of the
wire nails to tho pond, point upon
which much favorable s:rese has been
laiI, has b,en exaggerated, particularly
in the caae OF the larger eizfs. The I'D
wire nail, for example, was fund to iail
short In tho count fourth as compared
with The claim made for 1t. In tho hold
ing quality tho wire mai! wGs found to be
bahlnd tho cut nail from bali to a third
"a remarkable discrepancy in ca essen
tisl factor. '#'
Oar manufacturers put their case plain
ly when they uay that, according to the
tests, whom the Gu! nail is selling at 81 fol
lOl tho wire nail ohould sell at 81 Il 3.1(
to give the purchaser the sama value fol
his money. At present Gu! nsils OF stee
arc quoted Gs g 20. while the vigorously
doomed wire nail is quoted at 50 10, Of
not far from .hroc times its value.

Tit can bo shown that the Wheeling
tests were not accurate snd, in consequence
tho conclusion wrong, the wire nail will

II, on the contrary, this tests made by

wire nail will have to seek lis market on

Trade ia u Free rrn,lu country.

Just now, when the American free
tra lers are arriving with renewed energy
10 turn tho American people from pro-
lection to FREQ trgde-srguiuz with the
manufacturer that 1t would be vastly bet.
ts' to &c. his raw materials f,so and 80 be
b,.ter placed to ccmpe.e for tho trade Of
tas world-it is qlisa refreshing to have
the British manufacturers como forward
and preach tho docssins which has made
thu United States prosperous.
Tho article Protection in England
printed, in. another column, shows Whist
the iron and steel manufacturers Of Great
Britain think OF the policy which puts
upon them the burden Of maintaining
thsir Government snd admits on even
terms to liz market the manufacturer o!
other lands. And yet Great Britain start.
cd in tho race with great advantages over
every other nation, confident that with
cheap food and on open market she could
whip the world. XII Y.
In her aim to aecure cheap food she has
ruined The British agricultural industry,
and now the manufacturers complain tina.
their own industry is undermined by free
importation. EDgliah labor is down to q
Tree trade bssis, in competition with the
lowest, and oti!l the policy Of free trade is
found not TO pay. This is not the first
announcement Of the discovery; 1t is only
adding to the weight OF testimony on the
came side.
What encourages anybody to hope for
better .hineain this country under q like
policy2 Win the Belgian manufacturers,
the German or the French treat us with
more confederation than they do the
British? And II protection is 80 very bad
Il thing, even for the American manu-
iaeturer, as We are assured By free traders
it is, what puta 1t into tho heads Of the
dissatisfied iron and steel masters Of Great
Britain that under the circumstances /.
may DO better to invest their money in
America, II II Fl
II free trade does not pay Great Britain,
it may be affirmed with sill confidence
that there is no country on earth that can
hope to proa!b by it.

Handling California Wheat.

In no country in the world can wheat be handled as cheaply as in California. During the harvest season there is no pos sibility of rain, and the wheat is put into burlap bags and stacked up in the field until the farmer is ready to ship. When sent to San Francisco it lies on the wharf until a ship is ready to take it on board. No shelter is needed, and there are no elevator charges, the bags being placed on board ship just as they came from the fields. In addition to the profit resulting from cheap handling, the owner has his profits considerably increased by the gain in weight made on the voyage to Liver pool. When the wheat leaves California it is dry as finder, and in exactly the con- dition to absorb the moisture of the sea air; and, consequently, on it's arrival in England 8 cargo of wheat will be heavier by many thousand pounds than when it left California. Wheat is never shipped in bulk, but always in bags, as when loaded in bulk it is about the most danger ous cargo a ship can carry. No matter how lightly it may be packed at first, it settles considerably within a short time, and then Is very liable to shift. When shifting takes place a ship Is as good as lost, as the change in the center of gravity throws her o1e her beam ends, and she is nearly certain to go to the bottom in the first moderate gale. Many ships were lost in this way, and now the shipment of grain in bulk is prohibited by law.-A. H. Smith in Globe Democrat.

frnft bnYers. Al

Cuban fruit buyers. An en- tire cargo is disposed of as rapidly as it comes out of the hold. In the old times three to six days were required to unload 8 little schooner Now a great steamer will discharge cargo of bananas in ten hours. The consignee has notified every dealer in the city, and they are nearly all here, motley lot whose jabbering, CUTS ing and precipitation are something ter rible indeed. They swarm over the steamers deck and drive bargains as though their very immortal souls de- pended on the higgle haggNng over that load, or that bunch, of bananas.
 Gangs of from eight to sixteen men are required at each hatch, and these fellows who work in the hold in the most fearful stench ever whifed by human nose re- ceive 25 cents an hour. They are the lowest species of beings existing along the docks. They possibly get two days work week. That is enough. They live on bananas, swin and garbage, sailor board ing house rum, and lie along the burning pavements of South and West streets in sodden, open-mouthed stupor, with less manners and brains than swine. Relays are formed from the hold, and the punches tossed thence, one at time, being caught on their way out by each man with hands flat, palms upward and bowed forearms, WHICH ACC AS v SOEb OA pAAAOWAAS AOA onO fruit.
 The rapidity and safety of the move ment of these punches are marvellous. At each hatch on deck are 8 tallyman for the vessel, and 8 tallyman who is also ''se1ecter'' for the consignee. The latter grades the punches as they come flying from the hold with incredible swiftness and accuracy. A few feet below on the docks are scores of dealers wagons, and, according to the grade, constant stream of punches flows into each. In these they are carried to the "sweat rooms" of the wholesalers, where they are hung much like curing tobacco, and kept at about no degrees of heat night and day for from three to five days, when the punches, which were originally nvid green, are ripened and transformed to the tempting yellow clusters which lure us to the stalls of Lorenzo the Magni1cent's descendants upon the streets.
 The grades are simply "frsts," 'sec- onds," Eculls'' and 'ripes.' "Firsts" are punches containing the most and finest fruit. ''Seconds' are all other prime condition, marked table punches. ''Culls'' are the lowest grade fruit, and ''ripes' comprise the Overripe and partly decayed bananas. The ''culls' are piled on deck in freckled, unsightly heaps, and you will have to wade ankle deep in ''ripes'' until they are sorted and corded, two tiers lengthwise, in old orange boxes, one-Quarter of @ cargo possibly being in this condition. The price secured for bananas by the vessel load Is about $1. 12 per bunch, and the retailer gets them at $1.4O. As the punches average 200 pieces each, any one can estimate the profits in the street banana trade.-Edgar l.. Wake man in Globe-Democrat.

rable Etiouette tn zanzibar.

Talking of eating reminds me of the way the operation is performed by the Arabs. Five of them seat themselves round 8 large bowl of rice, surmounted by skinny fowl, all being curried. Two seize the wings with their fingers and two the legs, and simultaneously tearing these off leave the carcass to the fifth, after ward taking out the rice by handfuls and dexterously conveying it to the mouth with peculiar jerk. One mark of hospi
 tality shown to guests when at table con- sists in the chiefs rolling up some rice into ball in the palm of his hand and aiming it at his guests widely distended jaws. On one occasion this piece of civil tty was shown to myself, but not being an adept in the art of swallowing rice balls when so projected the effect was anything but what my kind entertainer an- ticipated, for, independent of being nearly choked, the grains were scattered, or rather sputtered, over the table in man ner that elicited roars of laugher even from the very grave Arabs. This, of course, was the last experiment of the kind tried upon me.-Overland Monthly.
